are they good to loose weight? i have a thyroid problem which is very hard for me to loose weight. im going to travel and i would like to look a little better :) thank you for your time .Coconut oil pills are good to loose weight?
I'm sorry to hear about your thyroid problem...that just means you'll have to keep exercising and don't make excuses like some people do. On top of this, a supplement like kelp would do much better than a coconut oil supplement because kelp supports thyroid function. It's also cheaper.Coconut oil pills are good to loose weight?
They cannot hurt you so you could try. I found that they didn't work for me, but each person is a bit different. Make sure it is good quality coconut oil pills.

Coconut oil is a perfect moisturizer. It is best to get extra virgin. It is not hydrogenated, bleached, refined, or deodorized using chemicals.
It is very economical as it is a thin consistency so you use less than thicker oils like olive. It has a mild pleasant odor. Does not leave face oily looking. Simple wipe away surface excess with water and tissues.

Does coconut oil promote hair growth in African American and if so how much?
Please give me testimonies! Does coconut oil promote hair growth in African American and if so how much?
Coconut is a carrier oil and is healthier than the products found in stores, however..alone it cannot promote hair growth. Essential oils such as tea tree, rosemary, lavender, and thyme promote hair growth when massaged on to the scalp with a carrier oil (like cocout). People with both natural hair and relaxed hair can use essential oils and carrier oils on their hair.
Stimulation of the scalp produces hair growth as well as taking vitamins and having a healthy diet. Does coconut oil promote hair growth in African American and if so how much?
Like the others have said, hair growth is based on genetics and how well you maintain your hair. There are things you can do to achieve your optimal growth rate such as massaging your scalp frequently; massaging your scalp with an essential oil like Lavender, because essential oils mimics the hair's natural oil, sebum, which is what your hair needs to stay nourished; keeping the scalp clean; and the hair moisturized. Also, low manipulation of your hair will help increase hair retention. You want to focus on retaining length because it doesn't matter how fast your hair grows if it keeps breaking off.
There are many essential oils to choose from, like lemon oil. I'm not sure if coconut oils is considered an essential oil, though. Now, I don't know if you want to put these oils in your hair if you're relaxed, but for natural hair it needs oils and moisture, but relaxed hair is taken care of differently.
No - hair growth is determined by season (faster in the summer and slower in the winter), genetics, and nutrition (if you eat well then your hair grows in faster and healthier). Nothing you can apply externally makes it grow faster, unfortunately.
The one thing that external application can do is keep hair in good condition so it doesn't break off at the ends or need cutting as often.
No I don't think so. Your hair growth is determined by your genes and how you take care of your hair. I'm black and when I was younger my mom always used pantene for women of color on my hair and it was beautiful and strong. Just the normal relaxer then she put it in while my hair was wet and styled it. I didn't get a wash everyday. No blow dry because it would dry out my hair. I only got it washed when necessary. Our hair needs the natural oils to stay moisturized. We cant wash it everyday like the white girls lol. Our hair is more prone to breakage. Which might be the reason it seems like its not growing.

Is coconut oil good for frying and baking foods?
In the Kitchen:
Cooking with Coconut Oil
Coconut oil used to be difficult to find, but not any longer. Health food stores now stock several brands; even mega-retailer Wal-Mart carries it in the food section. Semisolid at room temperature, coconut oil has a buttery consistency that makes it great for stir-frying or baking, and it's mild enough that you won't notice a pronounced coconut taste. Here are suggestions for using it.
Store it safely: Coconut oil's stability makes caring for it a cinch: Just keep it out of the sun. ';It doesn't need to be refrigerated, and will stay fresh for at least two years,'; says Bruce Fife, a nutritionist and author of The Coconut Oil Miracle. ';If kept cool, it will last even longer, about six years.';
Read the label. Some food manufacturers, now under pressure to get rid of trans fats (aka partially hydrogenated fats) in processed and baked goods, are replacing them with the far healthier coconut oil. When shopping for the oil itself, look for brands labeled ';virgin,'; since they're the least processed. It's the only way to know that the oils you're buying have not been refined, deodorized, or bleached.
Keep it on simmer. With coconut oil it's best to keep the cooking temperature below 350 degrees (the typical temperature, say, for stir-frying vegetables); any higher and the oil will start to oxidize and smoke. For high-temperature tasks such as pan-frying a chicken, go with peanut oil, which contains monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and saturated fats; its smoke point is 440 degrees. Other oils that can take the heat because of their high smoke points include almond, avocado, canola, sunflower, and walnut.
Bake with it. Despite its low smoke point, you can bake with coconut oil at temperatures above 350. That's because the moisture content in cakes, breads, and casseroles keeps the food's interior temperature much lower. Add shredded coconut, too; it's delicious and also adds moisture.
Learn the lingo. Confused about which ingredient to choose? ';Coconut milk'; is a pure white liquid derived by cooking coconut in water and is usually sold in cans. ';Coconut cream'; is similar, but has less water (or sometimes contains milk) and is therefore thicker. ';Sweetened cream of coconut'; contains added sugar. Cut the high calorie content by opting for ';light'; versions whenever possible.
Embrace the taste. Unadulterated coconut oil has a very mild taste. For a more pronounced coconut flavor and creaminess, try making dishes with coconut milk or coconut cream.Is coconut oil good for frying and baking foods?
